I found the hotel to have a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were comfortable and very clean, although there was a slight waft of smell in the air at times. The service, while friendly overall, had some lapses in professionalism. The location was nice, offering relaxation options but could use more shade. The dining experience varied from satisfactory to below expectations. The facilities were decent but could use some improvements.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not so good experiences. The rooms were wonderful, clean, and well-maintained, but unfortunately, I encountered some roaches during my time there. The service was stellar, with friendly and knowledgeable staff, although at times they seemed a bit too nosey. The location was excellent, well taken care of, and up to CDC guidelines, but there were some missed opportunities for shaded seating areas. The dining options were satisfactory, but not what I expected. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
